Now standard. Was surprised by that too.

 

Need to order tierods this week.. I just replaced them not too long ago.. and I'm sure the others are good still, maybe even one inner, but I'm a stickler when it comes to replacing everything together/at the same time.. so will probably just bite the bullet again. Almost tempted to do wheel bearings again too just because. Or.. just replace what's needed (one inner tierod) and then really bite the bullet and finally order the StopTech kit I've been eyeing. prepping for 35s.

 

Does yours have atrac and what not? What stop tec kit you looking at?

 

Yeah. You and I have the "same truck" drivetrain wise.

Facccccckkkk that’s so much for taco brakes.

I did the “tundra” swap on my fronts when I had the taco and that was noticeably better, I was super happy and I think that all cost $500 or less.

I know your not a huge fan of Napa at the moment but I did their calipers, rotors and pads and had no complaint. You could do Napa’s calipers, and then ebc rotors and pads or something. That would probably be tits.

honestly it worked super good, I know there is a write up on here.

 

You should get it and let me know how it goes lol. I did the 4Runner brakes and while they are better than stock, the pedal feel is less than desirable.

 

Need me more pistons son! Lol. I've already tried the ebc rotors and pads.. they worked ok.. but I can tell even they're struggling now. More surface area with more bite will be nice.

 

That’s what i meant with the tundra rotors. They are a little bigger and thicker. Idk I thought it was pretty solid, no complaints on 35’s.

if you do the stop techs lemme come drool

 

Hmm.. idk. I'll have to look into it more. I'd rather just upgrade it all tho.. plus I'm trying to ball out bro.. some stoptechs behind some beadlocked F5s on 35s.. lol



You're partially to blame for all this....

 

For Tacoma?

btw, check your pm’s

 

I wish! Lol

 

Why not do some up? I’d be very interested in that.

 

Mondays suck! Had some stuff fall over in the garage and put a crease in my passenger door

Anyone recommend a good PDR in the EV?

 

need some R&D time... but yeah, could probably knock those out.

 

Should be able to plug it

 

Its really close to the shoulder. Im gonna plug it with my ARB kit and take it to a tire shop today. Already ordered a new tire just because.

 

Yes, use this fella. He is incredible.

Tell him Mike with the Vette chassis sent you.

 

first youre LS swapping a BMW, then you start an overland company, now youre restoring a vette!?! What else are you up to?

 

Haha a kitchen remodel as well. Converting our old living room into our new kitchen, and vice versa. Piping has been run through the slab and wiring is finishing up soon, then simply waiting on the cabinets to come in in a few weeks. Will tile in the interim.

But the Vette is a buddies that I have been helping with on and off. Vette's aren't particularly my style. Though the V8 for the M3 is at the machine shop now getting freshened up! Excited to cruise with your Miata at some point.
